Wagamama Miso Cauliflower Lunch Box

Wagamama miso cauliflower lunch box is estimated at £12.50 (est.) and carries 800 kcal, the vegan flag of the lunch menu and, quietly, its biggest box. Sticky miso korean fried cauliflower over sticky rice with beetroot, kimchee, cucumber, shichimi and coriander, the chicken box's build with the fryer's other favourite passenger.

Cauliflower under korean fry treatment is no longer a substitution story, as the bang bang plate proved on the bites page; here the miso glaze soaks the craggy crust the same way it soaks chicken, and the vegetable's own sweetness joins in. The kimchee and cucumber run the sour line, the beetroot the earthy one, and the coriander finishes it greener than the chicken version bothers to be.

The numbers surprise in the usual direction for fried vegetables: at 800 kcal it outweighs the chicken box, batter and glaze indifferent to virtue, while the protein at 14 g runs at half. The salt eases below the chicken version without reaching innocence. Vegan marked, shared fryer footnote attached for medical cases as always.

The set pricing story holds: no standalone figure published, £12.50 (est.) as this site's marked estimate, weekday lunch at participating branches. For plant based office workers within reach of a branch it is arguably the best boxed vegan lunch on any UK high street, a sentence typed with full awareness of the competition.

One ordering note earns its place: of the three lunch boxes this is the one that reheats with most dignity, the batter softening toward tempura rather than collapsing, which matters to anyone whose lunch hour drifts. The beetroot and kimchee also do quiet nutritional work the chicken box cannot claim, a proper vegetable count riding along with the indulgence.

How much is the vegan lunch box: the lunch deal page and a phone call, honestly. Eaten in, nothing needs adding; the box was built complete, which is the entire genre's point.
